"Titanic" is actually a very magical movie.

Its magic is not actually in the box office, let alone in the awards, but in the fact that it lets the world know that there are touching stories that can be sung and cried in the shipwreck nearly a hundred years ago.

Perhaps many people have heard the media report that although the love story of Jack and Ruth is fictional, the ugliness and nobility in the movie are all true, for example, the second male in the movie dressed as a woman to board the lifeboat, that is, alluding to Bruce Ismay, the director of White Star Shipping, who was rescued by squeezing into a lifeboat full of women and children during the shipwreck, casting a shadow on the slogan of 'women and children first';

For example, the old couple who snuggled up to each other and waited for death in the movie were Issy Strauss, the founder of Macy's, and his wife, who had a chance to escape, but Issy Strauss refused to board the lifeboat carrying women and children, and her wife did not want to leave her husband to survive, so they gave up the opportunity to escape and chose to sink into the sea with the Titanic, it was because of their nobility that they erected their monuments in New York City, and they were engraved with the Bible "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it." ”

In addition, John Astor IV, a landowner in New York at the time and a member of the Astor family, was left alone on the deck after sending off his pregnant wife, as the richest man in the world at that time, he would rather sink into the North Atlantic with the Titanic than grab the seats of women and children.

Not only that, but George Wicker, the founder of Youngston Steel, waved goodbye to his loved ones who boarded the ship before the shipwreck;

Broadway theater owner Henry Harris is left alone on the boat after putting his wife in a lifeboat;

Grand Trunk Railway President Charles Hayes gave up a chance to survive for someone else to board the ship......

The glorious humanity of these rich people shining in a desperate situation! The noble character on display! That's the foundation of their success! And the bravery they interpret with their lives! Liability! And persevere! That's what ordinary people are missing the most!

Belch......

All right......

In a situation where the U.S. government can get railway experts to investigate shipwreck cases, this propaganda is really ......

Cow beep!

Of course, whether the propaganda is exaggerated or not, whether the incident is true or not, this actually has nothing to do with Roland, and it has nothing to do with the lady named Carol Weil in front of him, but what really has to do with it is actually the ship at that time, and other people.

"Carol Seligman-Guggenheim-Weil?"

Roland repeated the other party's name very rudely, and the eyes cast at the lady were also full of doubt and curiosity.

Although his pondering behavior made the atmosphere of the scene a little embarrassing, if it was according to the routine, when a certain unknown cow beeper reported his name, everyone around him should wake up and bow down, if he hesitated slightly, it was Chi Guoguo's failure to pretend to beep, but now, even if Roland did not show enough enthusiasm, the three people on the side did not show their anger, but looked at him with smiling eyes, because they felt that Roland could think of it.

And under their gaze, Roland also asked his guess.

"That means Florette Seligman is your ......"

"Great-grandmother." When Roland reported the Seligman family, Carol Weil immediately answered his mind.

Not only that, but while talking, his face is full of happiness.

seemed to be very happy that Roland was able to directly say the name of his ancestors, but it was more like someone praised him when he was talking about cross talk, and after seeing the pleasure she revealed, Roland asked again-

"So Benjamin Guggenheim is your great-grandfather?"

Although this was the end of the sentence, Roland stubbornly added, "Oh! Before making the film, we learned all the last words that could be verified, among which the note that Mr. Benjamin left to his wife touched us the most - 'There will not be a woman on this boat who will be left on the deck because I have taken the place of the lifeboat, I will not die like a brute, I will die like a real man', he is really a gentleman, worthy of our learning and a gentleman who can make the Guggenheim family proud! ”

Although Roland's words were full of suspicion of praise, when Carol Weil saw that Roland could recite her great-grandfather's last words word for word, she immediately covered her mouth and laughed, who was already expecting feedback.

“Oh！ Rowland! I didn't expect you to remember my great-grandfather's last words after five years?

This was a real surprise to me!

That's right! He's my grandma's pride! And the pride of our Guggenheim and Seligmans! ”

When Carol Vale, an old woman in her forties, opened her arms and happily hugged Roland, Roland, who leaned forward politely, swept away his doubts, because after confirming the identity of the other party, he could really understand why Ronald Perelman and Henry Paulson would give her enough respect.

No way, there's a lot of money!

Benjamin Guggenheim, the second generation of the Guggenheim family, is the sixth son of American mining tycoon Meyer Guggenheim, who inherited the family's plumbing business from his father.

Although he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he enjoyed a prosperous life since he was a child, but the tragedy of a wealthy family without love is the price he must pay, after the fourth brother Solomon Guggenheim married Erin of the Rothschild family, he also understood that finance can be the lifeblood of his father, and married his business partner, Floret of the Seligman family.

This emotionless marriage certainly allowed the two families to prosper in business, but at the same time, it also made Benjamin Guggenheim dissatisfied, longing for freedom and wanting to find the life he wanted, so in early 1900, he came to Europe with the eight million left to him by his mother, and settled in the romantic capital of Paris.

Moreover, he also got involved with the well-known French singer Leontina Obarte at that time.

Well, this is actually marital cheating.

But for the giants, this kind of thing is normal.

For the sake of the family business, it is impossible for Benjamin Guggenheim to divorce Floret Seligman, and for the same sake of the family business, Floret Seligman cannot go to the Guggenheim family for justice.

Just as the Rockefeller family helped the bush family sell steel by monopolizing oil, the Guggenheim family's business was able to go from iron and copper to gold because of the Seligman family's financial support, and the Seligman family was able to give the Guggenheim family financial support because the Guggenheim helped them get loans and issue bonds through the mineral monopoly.

In the case that no one can leave anyone, then everyone can only endure it.

It's just that while enduring it, the reputation has also stinked.

No way, who makes the dandy-like legend the easiest to become the talk of people after tea?

And the topic related to living and widowhood, that is easy to arouse people's excitement!

Just like the principal in the past few years when the Internet was rampant, people often talked about it, that is, his gossip; The eternal remains the same, and the most suitable actress to play ****, when her husband went bankrupt many times in a row, the imagination of going to the sea came one after another.

However, fame is not very important to the wealthy.

People scolded Rockefeller and wanted to crush their bones to ashes, but while Rockefeller was scolded, he was not alive and abnormally nourishing? And the Guggenheim family and the Seligman family have become a thorn in the side of the public because of financial and mineral reasons, so even if someone in the family cheats and messes around and makes everyone know, it will not lose a piece of meat.

Broken jars!

So the days just go on.

And in April 1912, when Floret Seligman sent a telegram to her husband that the family business had problems and needed him to return to New York to deal with it, Benjamin Guggenheim, who was in a hurry to rush back, boarded the Titanic.

After that......

He was like Issy Strauss, the founder of Macy's, John Astor IV, the landlord of New York, George Wick, the founder of Youngston Steel, Henry Harris, the owner of Broadway theaters, and Charles Hayes, president of the Grand Trunk Railroad......

Forever left at the bottom of the sea.

If that's all there is to it, it's just remembrance.

But the choice he made before he passed away was a great gift for the Guggenheims!

Before the disaster, the Guggenheim, like Rockefeller, was the object of spurning!

But after that......

Benjamin Guggenheim's heroic deeds are celebrated by the world, and it is said that he put on the most luxurious clothes and sank quietly into the sea like a gentleman, without competing for the survival of the old and weak women and children because of the hope of life......

The greatness in human nature makes the whole family extraordinarily glorious!

In particular, the New York Times also publicly praised him-

"Never doubted your greatness!"

Albert Hubbard, a well-known American publisher and author, and author of "Send a Letter to Garcia", publicly claimed -

"He's a hero."

Not only that, but the Philadelphia North American Newspaper also included it in the 'list of noble people of all time'.

The fanciful touting made him instantly change from a rich second generation who messed around in marriage to a celebrity who has been around for centuries!

The Guggenheim family praised his choice in grief, and the Seligman family also said that although his son-in-law did a lot of ridiculous things in the first few decades of his life, his nature is still noble!

Perhaps many people don't understand what this verbal flamboyance means to the Guggenheim.

But just name what the Guggenheim has gotten, and you'll understand what it means to sacrifice one for the benefit of the whole family!

On May 15, 1911, a year before the Titanic shipwreck, Standard Oil, controlled by the Rockefeller family, was split into 34 regional oil companies, and then various industries were in a crisis of investigation.

The mining companies controlled by the Guggenheim family are no exception.

According to popular demand, they are also to be broken up after building a large number of smelters in Colorado.

But with the sinking of the Titanic and the death of Benjamin Guggenheim, they found an opportunity to announce that they would regain the nobility buried by the black iron copper mine like him, and decided to move the smelter to Mexico in an orderly manner!

In order to protect the local resources, they will also go to Bolivia to mine tin ore!

Go to the Yukon Territory of Canada to mine gold!

Go to Belgium and mine diamonds!

Go to Congo to mine rubber!

They want to leave the pollution out there and bring the benefits back to the United States!

On the bright side, this is indeed a reform, but in reality......

This is when you are a bitch, you have to set up an archway!

But it can't be helped, Benjamin Guggenheim's initiative to die is just too great!

When the world's richest people would rather die than compete with women and children for seats, the Guggenheim family, which had not sent troops to suppress the labor movement like the Rockefellers, was temporarily approved by the workers.

Coupled with the close ties between the White Star and the Morgan family, the antitrust investigation related to the Guggenheim family disappeared when the Guggenheim decided not to pursue the shipwreck case of the White Star company's negligence and the death of family member Benjamin Guggenheim.

A shipwreck, killing a rich man, but in exchange for the continuation of the family?

What a bargain is this special code?

And if that's all there is to it, then forget it, but the problem is that when they withdrew from the mining industry in two or three years, continued to control the market share in the form of shares, but pushed others to power, they took advantage of Benjamin Guggenheim's nobility to establish the Guggenheim Foundation and the Guggenheim Museum one after another!

In fact, almost all the super-rich families have established family foundations, such as the Rockefeller family's foundation, which is called the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Carnegie family's foundation, which is called the Carnegie Foundation.

But after a hundred years of operation, these guys who were richer than the Guggenheim family before can't be compared with the Guggenheim, like the Rockefeller Fund, the scale of the 2,000 years was only 3.3 billion, and the scale of the Carnegie Fund is also less than 10 billion, for the Guggenheim, more than 100 billion is close to 200 billion!

Why?

Because it's whitewashed!

Why did Nelson Rockefeller, John Rockefeller's grandson and former vice president of the United States, fail in his presidential campaign?

His opponent Nixon bluntly said that because his name was Rockefeller, the people would not vote for him!

Andrew Carnegie, the Iron King, did donate 3,000 public libraries and left the phrase 'shame on a man who dies with money' in On Wealth, but his daughter ......

But he lives by selling villas!

Many times, the so-called image is not how good you look, but how beautiful you sing!

What did the Guggenheims do?

They didn't do anything!

It's just that when the family descendants were killed, it was emphatically promoted!

And then......

The nobility that comes with it will make them last for a hundred years!

Is this kind of thing outrageous?

Outrageous, of course!

Whenever people mention the Titanic, they talk about the second ancestor of the Guggenheims! And when you mention the second ancestor, you will talk about the fearless spirit that is not afraid of death! Coupled with their active withdrawal from the mining industry, people's goodwill towards them will skyrocket, and the bonus brought by this kind of fame and fortune is the real brand effect!

When people choose an asset manager, Benjamin Guggenheim's story creates an illusion of integrity and nobility, and when people are overwhelmed, choosing the Guggenheims who do what they say is what they know to be right.

In this case, as long as the rate of return is solid......

In fact, it has already won.

It was because the Guggenheim's reputation was changed by the shipwreck that whenever someone told them about this past, they always expressed their excitement in a way that was remembered and proud.

And when at the end of the nineties, the noble guy who once again preached to the world about the cruelty of shipwreck, but the noble guy with the character of a rich man appeared in front of them, and the enthusiasm that followed directly tore apart the coldness that belonged to the old money.

"Roland, we have watched "Titanic" starring you many times, and your performance is really good, those guys in the academy can award you the Oscar, that is the wisest decision."

"Thank you, I actually have a lot to ......"

"Inadequate? No！ No！ No！ You are so humble! Others don't know your strength, but we still know that in the early nineties, your performance was still a little exaggerated, but after learning from Tom Hanks, your acting skills are visible to the naked eye, that is, your commercial value is too high, otherwise, I think you would have won the award a long time ago. ”

“Oh！ Madame, I'm a little embarrassed to say that......"

"Excuse me? Why are you embarrassed? Do you think I'm complimenting you? No! I'm serious! My uncle, Roger Strauss, saw your movie on a charter, and he said that the love between you and Kate was really the most classic embodiment of that era! And my other uncle, Arthur Stewart, also said that the rich children of that era actually wanted to be free, but when freedom really came, they would retreat because of the interests of the family, everyone was eager for their love, because wealth has been free, but love is too rare, he is really very envious that you and Kate can come together, if my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother could be as happy as you, maybe ......

My great-grandfather wouldn't have died young! ”

The topic of "......", Roland can't pick it up.

Because he understands that the Guggenheim family is eating the human blood steamed buns of the lady in front of him, her grandfather Benjamin.

If Benjamin Guggenheim hadn't died young, the Guggenheim family would not have been able to transform.

Case......

It is impossible for them to enjoy the same privileges as they do now.

So, it's all relative.

Maybe she understood that Roland couldn't take over the topic at all, but it was more like Carol Weil herself didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so while Roland was silent, she also took the initiative to lead the way and proposed to walk around.

And when Carol Weil accompanied Roland around the Goldman family's castle estate, the two people behind him clearly heard the push-and-push conversation between the guys in front of them.

The two chatted about movies, Kate, art, and gossip......

It seems like a lot of talking, but in reality, the two guys who are older than both of them understand that this is simply a waste of time.

But......

How can this be?

Carol Weil is willing to say, Roland Allen is willing to chat, then let them do their own thing!

After all, they're stinky workers.

Compared with the octopus, Goldman, Sachs, Guggenheim, and Seligman, whose wealth is pitifully limited, compared to the octopus, who control the major companies through the Foundation.
